VuFind Developers Call Minutes: February 16, 2016

Attending:

Agenda

1. Development Updates

JIRA Tickets

  • VUFIND-1143 - This ticket describes the security flaw that inspired release 2.5.2. It has also been fixed in master.
  • VUFIND-1144 - This ticket tracks a bug in the [HideFacetValues] feature; the bug is fixed in master but still affects current releases. It could be backported with sufficient demand.
  • VUFIND-1145 - This ticket points out that there is probably room for further simplification in logic for dealing with ILS requests (holds/recalls/ILL/storage retrieval).

Pull Requests

  • #584 - in progress - This contains the latest work on on-demand session instantiation.
  • #585, #586 - merged - New translations.
  • #587 - in progress - This adjusts VuFind's AJAX code to make better use of native HTTP status codes.
  • #588 - in progress - This adjusts VuFind's Solr schema (and index tools) to take advantage of docValues.
  • #589 - merged - Improvements to #550 (dynamic cover improvements), which itself is still in progress.
  • #590 - merged - Minor adjustments to deduplication listener.

Delimited Facets

This feature has now been merged to master.

More Consistent Behavior for Blocked User Requests

Chris and Demian noticed an inconsistency in the way VuFind treated blocked user requests (hold/recall/ILL/storage retrieval) based on whether the block was provided up-front by the ILS driver (show link, but link to error page) or discovered dynamically through an AJAX “check status” request (hide link). Now all blocked links are hidden. See this commit and this commit.

Slack Team

VuFind now has a team on Slack for instant communication. Please let Chris or Demian know if you'd like to join but can't get in.

2. Development Planning

Improved Author Indexing

Solr Upgrade

Javascript Reorganization

Cover Issues

API

Modularization

Next ZF Version

While we wait for ZF3, should we consider upgrading to ZF 2.5.x, which raises PHP minimum requirement to 5.5? Or should we be conservative and stick with 2.4.x, yet still upgrade to the latest of that line, 2.4.9?

Improved Use of Permissions

Session Performance Improvement

3. Other Topics?

Next Call

The next call will be Tuesday, March 1, 2016 at 9am Eastern Standard Time (14:00 GMT).
